    Weekend Recap – Charleston, SC

    Happy Monday! We’re back home after a three day weekend full of traveling and family time – we drove to Charleston, SC to watch Blake’s sister, Ali, graduate from College of Charleston! This morning was a bit of a struggle to get the day going, but after a cup of coffee and a hot shower, I’m excited to take on the week. Friday Friday morning we woke up and started our day as we normally would, and packed up the car in between feeding Luke and grabbing his last minute essentials. We hit the road right before his first nap and it worked perfectly – as soon as we pulled…

    Birthday Wishlist

    My birthday is this weekend and I figured I’d share what’s on my wish list this year!

    Striped T-Shirt Dress Five Ways

    If you add one thing to your closet this year…it should be a striped t-shirt dress! This little dress dress is such a workhorse – I wear it on the weekends, to work, to church…literally everywhere. It’s so easy to dress up or down and goes with so many things that I already have in my closet. I’m a huge believer in purchasing items that you can wear multiple times and multiple ways – we all work hard for our money and I don’t want to waste time on something I’ll barely wear! T-shirt dress: Old Navy and similar here //Wedges: Seychelles // Earrings: Bauble Bar // Sunglasses: Ray-Ban The first way…

    Weekend Update – May 7th

    Whew, what a weekend!! My weekend started early with a fun trip down to Florida and ended with laid back quality time with my family, so all in all I’d say it was a great weekend!   Pre-Weekend My cousin graduated from the University of Central Florida with an Industrial & Systems Engineering degree and I’m just so proud of her! She and my Aunt (my mom’s sister) live in Winter Park and it’s SUCH a gorgeous part of Florida. The majority of my dad’s side of the family lives near by in Altamonte Springs, which is right outside of Orlando, so I was able to fly down Wednesday afternoon…

    What I Packed in My Hospital Bag

    I am a planner through and through. When I was pregnant, I googled everything from “what to pack in my hospital bag” (and started packing weeks in advance) to “what to expect when you bring home a newborn”. Five months later, I realized nothing from that second topic was even close to preparing me for what life is actually like when you have a baby 🙂  However, I picked up a lot of helpful information from different posts about what you should bring in your hospital bag and thought I would share what I ended up bringing with me. I over packed (what else is new) so for any future…
